If you haven't received it, let me know. I've sent out the first chapter to everyone who's requested it so far. If you haven't received it, let me know.

Most mainstream publishers require an agent who sifts through the bad stuff to present your book to them. I self-published through www.trafford.com. My experience is good with them. Some self-publishers just print the book for you, while others demand up to $40,000 for them to promote it. Check Trafford out. However, as a self-published author I could not get my book into any national bookstore. But with this Blog of yours, and your excellent writing, someone will notice before too long, like what happened with me. My book just got picked up by Prometheus Books and is set to be out in the Fall. Perfect timing, since atheist books are selling well now. I'm pretty excited. Victor J. Stenger's book just made it into the NY Times Best Seller list, and he published through Prometheus Books! Do it. It's tough to get a publisher though.

For CHILDREN?? Can you imagine a cartoon extolling the virtues of godlessness! I think you'll see alternative lifestyles depicted on Saturday mornings long before positive aspects of atheism. I can only imgaine the vitriol, the boycotts, the prophecies of doom such a 'toon would inspire...come to think of it, that's a great idea! "Dora the Little Paleontologist" A cartoon!?! For CHILDREN??

I think that you could have a saturday morning cartoon series which may, in time, spawn a line of action figures and full-size playsets. You could also inspire a videogame for one of the new gaming platforms. For the adults, perhaps a line of collector's plates or commemorative coins would be in order. The sky is the limit! :) Cheers, Matt Hi Ebonmuse,
